Less than a year ago, then Republican Majority Leader Paul Ryan (R-Wi-01) told an unbelievably fantastic whopper generic, unconvincing political lie about why he didn’t want to run for re-election: he wanted to spend “more time” at home in Janesville, Wisconsin with his family. Today, not so much.
Former House Speaker Paul Ryan is moving with his family from his hometown of Janesville to Washington, D.C., less than a year after he said he was leaving Capitol Hill to escape the pressures of public life.
It didn’t take him long to decide he no longer liked his home state. In fact, he’s already temporarily renting a house in Maryland.
He joins Reince Priebus, former head of the Wisconsin and then National Republican Party and former Chief of Staff to Pre*ident tRump who never left the grifting opportunities in DC after leaving White House service. Priebus apparently no longer loves the state he always claimed to love so much and never came back.
He will be joined by former Republican Wisconsin Governor and ongoing puddytat nemesis Scott Walker who will be heading there in 2012 to run the Young Americas Foundation (formerly the ultra RW group Young Americans for Freedom). After losing re-election as Governor, Walker had a tough time finding work. That’s what happens to someone who never had a real job in the private sector, has a high school education, and has no marketable skills.
These 3 Wisconsin Republicans leaving our state is OUR gain in Wisconsin and everyone else's loss. Grifting, it seems, is so much easier and better in Washington DC — a place Republicans can’t complain about loudly or often enough. They’re not joining the swamp, they’re already the swamp.
Buh bye clowns. On your way out I can only hope the door hits you where the Good Lord split you. And may that door be loaded with splinters. Sadly, there are plenty more horrible Republicans who remain in Wisconsin in order to inflict even more damage on our already damaged state.
